The question asks about the characteristics of a Permanent Lok Adalat under Section 22-B of The Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987. We need to evaluate each statement against the provisions of this Act.
D) The Permanent Lok Adalat can handle cases up to a certain monetary limit (currently ₹1 crore).
This question tests knowledge of Mendeleev's periodic table and his predictions for unknown elements. Mendeleev used prefixes like 'Eka-' to name elements whose properties he predicted based on their position relative to known elements.
C) Eka-Aluminium was the name given by Mendeleev to the unknown element he predicted would lie below aluminium in the periodic table. This element was later discovered and named Gallium.
The question asks for the estimated percentage reduction in the population living in multidimensional poverty in India between two specific periods: 2015-16 and 2019-21, as per the SDG India Index 2023-24. This requires knowledge of the official statistics released by NITI Aayog or related government reports on poverty reduction.
B) From 24.8% to 14.96%
This option accurately reflects the data released by NITI Aayog regarding the reduction in multidimensional poverty in India between the specified periods. The NITI Aayog's 'National Multidimensional Poverty Index: A Progress Review 2023' states that 24.85% of the population was multidimensionally poor in 2015-16, which reduced to 14.96% in 2019-21. This represents a significant decline of 9.89 percentage points.
The problem presents a number series, and we need to identify the pattern to find the missing term. We will analyze the differences between consecutive terms to determine the rule governing the series.
C) 372 — The pattern of differences between consecutive terms is an arithmetic progression (2, 4, 6, 8, 10...). Subtracting the next difference (10) from the last term (382) gives 372.
In this question, a group of numbers is coded by using letters and symbols as per the table given below and the conditions which follow.
| Number | 7 | 8 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 1 | 9 |
| Code | Z | Q | # | @ | % | $ | U | J | S |
Conditions:
1. If the 1st and 2nd digits are even, both are to be coded as 'A'.
2. If the 1st and last digits are odd, both are to be coded as the code for the 1st digit.
3. If the 3rd and 4th digits are even, their codes are to be interchanged.
What is the correct combination of codes (by following only the applicable condition(s)) for the given digits?
48719
The problem requires us to code a given five-digit number (48719) based on a provided coding table and a set of conditions. We need to apply the conditions sequentially and only if they are applicable to the given number.
C) A A Z J S
This problem involves calculating the cost price of an article given its marked price, a discount percentage, and a profit percentage. We will first calculate the selling price after the discount and then use the profit percentage to find the cost price.
Correct Option: C) ₹4,172
The question asks to identify which of the given options is NOT a 'Ghana Vadya'. 'Ghana Vadya' refers to idiophones, which are percussion instruments that produce sound primarily by the vibration of the instrument itself, without the use of membranes or strings. We need to classify each instrument based on its sound production mechanism.
A) Mridangam — The Mridangam is a percussion instrument belonging to the 'Avanaddha Vadya' category, as its sound is produced by the vibration of stretched membranes (drumheads). It is not a 'Ghana Vadya'.
The question asks to identify the correct statement about Small Causes Courts in India. We need to evaluate each option based on the established legal framework and characteristics of these courts.
Correct Option: C) Their decisions are final but subject to High Court's revision.
This statement accurately reflects the nature of Small Causes Courts. Their primary purpose is to provide quick and inexpensive justice for minor civil disputes. To achieve this, a regular appeal on facts is generally barred. However, to ensure justice and prevent errors of law or jurisdiction, their decisions are subject to the revisional jurisdiction of the High Court. This allows the High Court to intervene in cases of material irregularity, illegality, or jurisdictional error, without re-examining the facts of the case as an appellate court would.
The problem presents a series of letter groups, and we need to find the next group in the sequence. Each group consists of three letters. We should analyze the pattern for each letter's position (first, second, and third) across the groups.
The first letters are Z, G, N, U.
Following this pattern, the first letter of the next group should be 7 letters after U. Counting 7 letters from U: V, W, X, Y, Z, A, B. So, the first letter is B.
The second letters are Y, F, M, T.
Following this pattern, the second letter of the next group should be 7 letters after T. Counting 7 letters from T: U, V, W, X, Y, Z, A. So, the second letter is A.
The third letters are B, I, P, W.
Following this pattern, the third letter of the next group should be 7 letters after W. Counting 7 letters from W: X, Y, Z, A, B, C, D. So, the third letter is D.
The first letter is B, the second letter is A, and the third letter is D. Therefore, the next group in the series is BAD.
Correct Option: C) BAD
We need to determine the seating arrangement of seven people (P, Q, R, S, T, U, V) around a circular table, all facing the center. We will use the given clues to deduce their positions step-by-step and then answer the question about the number of people between Q and R.
Clue 1: Only two people sit between T and Q when counted from the left of Q.
Let's assume Q is at a certain position. Counting two people to the left of Q, T will be at the third position to the left of Q. Since there are 7 people, this means T and Q are separated by two people on both sides (left and right), or T is diametrically opposite to Q if there were 6 people. For 7 people, this means T is 3 positions away from Q in one direction and 3 positions away in the other direction. So, if we place Q, then T is at position 3 to the left of Q.
Clue 2: P sits second to the left of T.
From the position of T, we can place P. If T is at position 1, then P is at position 6 (counting left).
Clue 3: P sits to the immediate right of S.
This means S is immediately to the left of P. So, if P is at position 6, S is at position 5.
Clue 4: U sits third to the left of S.
From S's position, count three places to the left to find U. If S is at position 5, then U is at position 2 (5-3 = 2).
Clue 5: V is an immediate neighbour of U.
U is at position 2. Its neighbours can be position 1 or position 3. Looking at our current arrangement, position 1 is T and position 3 is Q. This clue seems to contradict our current arrangement or implies that we need to re-evaluate the initial placement. Let's re-examine the positions relative to each other.
Let's draw a circular arrangement and place them:
Start with T. Let T be at position 1.
From Clue 2: P sits second to the left of T. So, P is at position 6.
From Clue 3: P sits to the immediate right of S. So, S is at position 5.
From Clue 4: U sits third to the left of S. Counting left from S (position 5): position 4 (1st left), position 3 (2nd left), position 2 (3rd left). So, U is at position 2.
From Clue 1: Only two people sit between T and Q when counted from the left of Q. This means Q is third to the right of T. If T is at position 1, then Q is at position 4 (1st right is 7, 2nd right is 6, 3rd right is 5. Wait, this is wrong. Let's count from Q's left). If T is at position 1, and there are two people between T and Q from Q's left, then T is at position 3 from Q's left. This means Q is at position 5 from T's left. So, if T is at 1, Q is at 4 (1-1=7, 7-1=6, 6-1=5, 5-1=4). So, Q is at position 4.
Let's verify the positions:
Now, let's check Clue 5: V is an immediate neighbour of U. U is at position 2. Its neighbours are position 1 (T) and position 3 (empty). So V must be at position 3.
The only person left is R, and the only empty position is position 7. So R is at position 7.
Final arrangement (clockwise from T): T, U, V, Q, S, P, R.
Let's re-check all conditions:
The arrangement is consistent.
Answer the question: How many people sit between Q and R when counted from the left of R?
Our arrangement (clockwise from T): T, U, V, Q, S, P, R.
Q is at position 4, R is at position 7.
Counting from the left of R (position 7): P (1st left), S (2nd left). So, two people (P and S) sit between Q and R when counted from the left of R.
B) 2
